A series of just twelve numbered, authenticated pieces: this exceptional watch was designed and developed by Philippe Lebru. At the heart of this improbable project… The fragment of a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite been cut, polished and machine-finished (in the Jura) to form a watch dial. The additional movement plate, of Franche-Comté manufacture, enables the indication of a big date calendar in the 12 o’clock position and a dual zone with hours and minutes at 6 o’clock. The movement is Swiss-made. The watch comes with a certificate of authenticity and a Besançon Viper stamp which guarantee its chronometric quality.

“Do not waste your time inventing what already exists”as the saying goes.

For twelve years now, I have spent my time creating watches and clocks. Inventing what already exists, perhaps… But what I enjoy is bringing a new dimension to the private relationship between an individual and the measurement of time.To create a contemporary “grandfather” clock, a meteorite watch or a timepiece that turns counter-clockwise… Telling a truly new story!
A story rooted in the Franche-Comté, the modern heir to the traditional clock-making expertise of the Swiss and Jura.
The story of the Big Bang itself, and of the cluster of heavenly bodies that formed the Earth.
The story, too, of distorting the marvellous fabric of time itself.
